  1. Complete Payment: Click “Pay” to begin the payment process. You will be redirected to our payment partner, CopperX, to complete your subscription payment. Finalize the payment using your preferred blockchain.

Step 4: Delegate Your Node​

  1. After completing the payment, you will be redirected to Nodefolio, where a unique delegation URL will be generated for you. Please wait until the message "Generating Delegation URL" updates to "Click to Delegate." Once "Click to Delegate" appears, click on it, then select "Delegate Here" to initiate the delegation process. This will redirect you to the iAgent Dashboard to finalize the delegation.

  • How can I manage my Nodes with multiple wallets? If you're using multiple wallets, double-check on the iAgent Dashboard (https://node.iagentpro.com/) that you're connected to the desired wallet before proceeding with the "Delegate Now" option in the NodeOps Console. Connecting with the wrong wallet may result in associating your Node’s PCID with an unintended wallet address, potentially causing issues with delegation and Node management. Always verify your wallet connection to avoid complications.
